Today was my second 21-km run at the Fort for Ayala's Eco Dash. The rains poured heavily, puddles dotted the streets, at one point there was very low visibility, and there were no markers that tell how many more kilometers to go.
The 21-km route started from High Street, then to Ayala Center via Buendia overpass and Paseo de Roxas, then to McKinley Hill and Libingan ng mga Bayani via The Fort and back to High Street for the finish line. It took me 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 27 seconds. This is a 20-minute improvement from my first one last May, and for me a really big one considering I was not truly prepared for the run at all. True enough, it is very helpful to have a running buddy so you set the pace together or outpace each other when needed. This way, mas bibilis ka at nakakahiyang bumagal.
And as always, my legs are hurting big time again. Good thing my knees did not fail me this time lest my training for the dragon boat race in Singapore which happens in four weeks will be hit. Running 21 kilometers is already a big ordeal, how much worse if I run 42 kilometers? I will soon find out.
In a different note, my baby was finally home yesterday. Thanks to Armi, Chester, and Magoo for the all help. Let's go to Tagaytay for dinner when I master my parking skills. Haha.
